Official Synopsis:"As the ' Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.”

I love what the Russo bro's have done with Cap, but I like the idea that Whedon can focus on making the Avengers its own thing while still connecting story threads from other Marvel movies. I'd like to see him finish what he started.

First footage and info unveiled at D23 expo!

The Infinity Gauntlet and statues of Thanos & The Black Order (Thanos' other children, "Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, The Ebony Maw, and Cull Obsidian.") on display at the event.

Trailer description: (Cobbled together from various sources.)

Quote:

The Infinity War trailer opens:

"We are arriving." says Mantis to the other Guardians traveling aboard the Milano. Star-Lord warns, "This might be dangerous, so let's put on our mean faces." Suddenly something slams against the window of the Milano. It's Thor! "Get it off!" shouts Rocket who proposes they use the ship's windshield wipers to remove the pesky Asgardian. Mantis uses her powers to revive the wayward God of Thunder. "Who the hell are you guys?" he asks. The Milano zips through the cosmos.

Elsewhere, Scarlet Witch dodges a white energy blast which cuts a car in half. Vision appears to be trapped nearby.

"Death follows him like a shadow." says Mantis describing Thanos.

Loki standing in ruin presents the Tesseract to Thanos!

On Earth, Peter Parker is riding on a schoolbus as suddenly the hairs on his arm stand up, his Spidersense warning him of impending danger!

“He’s come to us,” a voice says, as alien ships crash land on a wrecked Earth. A worried Mantis stands with Iron Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, the Hulk, and the other heroes preparing for battle.

"Fun really isn't something one considers when balancing the universe. This does put a smile on my face." says Thanos as Gamora stands amongst the wreckage of The Collector's lair looking on tears in her eyes.

Many places on Earth and across the universe are shown in ruin.

A portal opens (on Earth?) and out of it Thanos emerges. Star-Lord and Doctor Strange leap into action with the Sorceror Supreme creating magic airborne stepping stones for Star-Lord to jump across.

Spider-Man swings into action wearing his new Avengers suit!

Black Panther and The Winter Soldier ready Wakandan forces to defend their territory.

Captain America appears out of the shadows, bearded with longer hair. Black Widow is also shown now with blond hair.

The Hulkbuster does battle!

Black Panther fights a four-armed creature similar to the Outrider aliens from the "Infinity" comicbook series.

A giant battle with Thanos unfolds on an utterly-decimated landscape. Thanos holds Thor's head in his grip. "You can run from it," growls Thanos, "but your destiny still arrives." Thanos pummels Iron Man, the Guardians are all defeated. Thanos wields a partially assembled Infinity Gauntlet. He raises the Gauntlet and destroys a planet or moon far away in the sky and rains down its remains upon the Avengers.

The crowd enthusiasm seemed phony. They cheered for the new Spider-Man (Homecoming? Really?), and they cheered when they saw Captain America with a beard (Why?), but they seemed underwhelmed by it all.

Join the Avengers, who are trying to find the ax-thunderbolt for Thor. Sit down in the cab of the rescue capsule with Rocket, Thor and Groot and go into space. On the way to Nidavellir you will meet many enemies, you can be protected from them by shooting from the thorns. Land on the red planet to charge Tor’s power plants in the space forge. Find the stone of infinity, untwist the energy ray and create an amazing ax-thunderer!

Danger! Proxima Midnight captured the shooting tower and shoots on Hulkbuster Bruce Banner! Smash the missile installation of the shooting tower with the powerful fist of Hulkbuster and crush the six-armed enemy. Reflect the punches of the Proxima Midnight. Order the Falcon to dive down to take away the stone of infinity of souls.

Emergency! Kull Obsidian and Ebony Maw are attacking the Holy of Holies of Dr. Strange! Together with the Spiderman, jump off them from the roof. Unite with the Iron Man and Dr. Strange and use their powers to repel super villains. If Ebony Maw is able to penetrate the bedroom of Peter Parker, lead him from there through the secret hatch. You must stop the evil invaders before they blow up the wall of the Holy of Holies Dr. Strange and get the stone of infinity of time. After defeating your enemies, order pizza and celebrate it with Peter Parker!

Unite with Captain America and the Black Widow to protect the kingdom of Wakanda from the invasion of foreigners. Avoid the fire from the thorns of the landing ships, restrain the attacks of six-armed enemies and attack, using the shield of Captain America. Pounce on the enemies with the truncheons of the Black Widow and get the cosmic stone of infinity!

Protect the Wall of the Wakid from Corvus Glaive and his thresher! Shoot at the threshing machine of double guns-thorns and a disk shooter. Quickly open the gate so that the Black Panther can enter the battle. But do not forget to close them immediately, so that the enemies do not break in. Help Shuri to remove the infinity stone that controls the mind from the head of the Vision. Can you do this before the thresher crushes the wall and destroys the diagnostic setup?

"Thanos: The Last Battle"

Minifigures include: Thanos, Iron Man, Star Lord, Gamora

Together with the Avengers, start the fight for the Glove of Infinity! Shoot at Thanos from the ship’s thorns. Open the cockpit and attack the space bike along with Star Lord and Gamora. Avoid the blows of Thanos’s huge sword and use the Iron Man’s power units to defeat Titan’s supervillain. Having won, grab the golden glove of infinity and fly away.
